About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, is seeking quotations for latch assemblies identified as Arnprior Aerospace Portland, Inc. Part Number ARN06002-90206 (National Stock Number 1560-01-667-1213). This procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) because the specified latch assembly has undergone Boeing's qualification and approval process and is the only authorized assembly for use in the P8 Aircraft for the TAS Program; the government lacks technical drawings or information necessary for competition, and switching vendors would present significant financial risk due to re-qualification costs exceeding any potential savings. The evaluation will consider quotations from all responsible sources, though the government reserves the right not to award based on responses received. The solicitation was posted on March 11, 2026, with a firm quotation deadline of March 23, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
This is not a small business set-aside, and Arnprior Aerospace Portland, Inc. is the sole source contractor identified for this requirement. The contract calls for an initial purchase of 200 latch assemblies with shipping costs, plus an option for 300 additional units with shipping available for one year from the award date, with firm fixed pricing applied to all line items. Delivery is required within 180 calendar days from the award date to NSWC Crane located at 300 Highway 361, Crane, Indiana 47522-5001, with FOB destination terms and payment processing through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system. Early and partial deliveries are acceptable at no additional cost to the government. The primary points of contact are Procuring Contracting Officer Shauna Pegg and Contract Specialist Rose M. Brown.

N0016426Q0066 – SOLE SOURCE – LATCH ASSEMBLIES – PSC 1560– NAICS 332721
Issue Date: 11-MAR-2026 – Closing Date: 23-MAR-2026 – 11:00 p.m. Time Eastern
ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for an initial purchase of a quantity of 200 Latch Assemblies, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part Number ARN06002-90206, National Stock Number 1560-01-667-1213, with shipping costs and an option for the purchase of a quantity of 300, plus shipping with the option to be available for the period of one year from the date of the award
The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source, Arnprior Aerospace Portland, Inc., cage code, under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) for acquisition valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold where only one source is available. The requirement is being solicited on a sole source basis because Arnprior Aerospace Portland, Inc. latch assembly (part number ARN06002-90206) has successfully undergone Boeing's qualification and approval process and is the only such assembly authorized for use in the P8 Aircraft for the TAS Program. The latch assembly is listed on a Boeing document which illustrates the OEM part number and lists Arnprior's cage code. The Government has no drawings or technical information needed for competition. Deviating from this material would result in an unapproved configuration of the Sonobuoy Storage Racks. Material must be purchased from this vendor or an authorized distributor to comply with the Boeing Illustration. Shifting to a different vendor/s part presents a financial risk, as the re-qualification costs are projected to surpass any achievable cost savings.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Contractors must be properly registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220 or via the internet at https://www.sam.gov.
Questions or inquiries should be directed to ROSE M. BROWN, Code 0253, telephone 812-381-7285, e-mail rose.m.brown44.civ@us.navy.mil. Please reference the above solicitation number when responding to this notice.
